These replacement wheels fit perfectly with the landing gear system on your Apprentice S, providing the same reliable performance as the original equipment.
The 65mm wheel size is specifically engineered for the Apprentice S platform, ensuring proper ground clearance, weight distribution and ease of takeoff and landing on grass fields, tarmac runways and prepared flying sites across the UK. Whether you've had a rough landing, worn your original wheels through extensive flying, or simply want to keep a set of spares on hand, these genuine E-flite wheels are the perfect solution for keeping your trainer in the air.

Technical Performance
The E-flite Wheels 65mm (3) represent genuine replacement components engineered with the precision and quality standards expected from E-flite. These wheels are constructed to exacting tolerances, ensuring smooth rolling performance on all surfaces where the Apprentice S 15e typically operates, from grass flying fields to paved runways and taxiways. The 65mm diameter has been carefully selected to complement the Apprentice S airframe's aerodynamic design and weight distribution, ensuring optimal takeoff performance and stable ground handling during taxi operations. The wheels are designed to interface seamlessly with the Apprentice S landing gear system, which features both main landing gear and a nose gear assembly. Their engineering reflects E-flite's commitment to creating reliable, user-friendly trainer aircraft that remain in the air longer and provide consistent performance throughout the aircraft's operational life. The wheels will maintain their integrity through numerous landing cycles, though like all consumable components in RC flying, they may eventually show wear after extended use on abrasive surfaces or following particularly hard landings.

- Why would I need replacement wheels? — Wheels can wear down through extended use, flatten slightly through repeated landings, or become damaged if your aircraft experiences a particularly hard or rough landing. Having spare wheels readily available means you can continue flying while your original wheels are being refurbished or can simply swap them out immediately and get back in the air.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These replacement wheels are designed for the Apprentice S 15e, which is one of the most popular beginner trainer aircraft in the world. The wheel change process is simple and straightforward, requiring no special skills or tools, making them ideal for pilots at any experience level.

- Can I use these wheels on other E-flite aircraft? — These wheels are specifically designed for the Apprentice S 15e trainer platform. While E-flite manufactures other trainer aircraft models, you should verify compatibility with your specific aircraft model before purchasing. Check your aircraft manual or contact RC Model Shop for compatibility confirmation with other Apprentice variants.
- How long do these wheels typically last? — Wheel longevity depends on flying frequency, landing surface conditions and landing technique. Grass fields are generally gentler on wheels than paved runways, and smooth landings cause less wear than hard or rough touchdowns. Many pilots find their original wheels last through many seasons of regular flying.
